Russell Crowe’s new film ‘The Pope’s Exorcist’ branded “unreliable splatter” by Vatican group
The Pope’s Exorcist has been branded “unreliable splatter” by the International Association of Exorcists (IAE).In the trailer and other promotional material, the movie claims to be “inspired by the actual files of father Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican”.“There is actually a real job called the Chief Exorcist in the Vatican,” Crowe explained in the film’s production notes. “Father Gabriele Amorth was a real man who held that office for 36 years, and was involved in tens of thousands of exorcisms.”However, in a statement issues last month, the IAE, which Amorth himself founded in 1990, described the film as “unreliable splatter cinema” (via The Guardian).The statement claimed that the film’s plot, which involves a Vatican conspiracy, raised “unacceptable doubt” as to who “the real enemy is, the devil or ecclesiastical power”.It continued: “The end result is to instil the conviction that exorcism is an abnormal, monstrous, and frightening phenomenon, whose only protagonist is the devil, whose violent reactions can be faced with great difficulty.“This is the exact opposite of what occurs in the context of exorcism celebrated in the Catholic church in obedience to the directives imparted by it.”Amorth was president of the IAE until 2000 and died in 2016.

This Morning took a racy turn when Josie Gibson asked her co-host Vernon Kay: "Do you trim your rose bushes?"Poor Vernon was left red-faced and speechless by her saucy-sounding question, which was broadcast to ITV's daytime TV audience. The presenting duo have been covering for regular hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, who have taken time off from the show during the school holidays.However, it seems their recent hosting stint hasn't come without some outrageously cheeky moments - including rose-bush-euphemisms.Thursday's show (April 14) saw Vernon and Josie wrapping up a family-friendly gardening segment on rose bushes with David Domoney.However, it quickly went wrong when Josie seemed to make a reference to Vernon's private parts - and he didn't know how to respond.Speaking about the floral feature, Vernon said: "That's the beauty of this show, when we get all the chefs in they make cooking look easy, and David's just done that with roses and he made that look easy."He added: "If you're someone like me, it's blimmin hard!"Josie asked him: "You don't trim your rose bushes?", and Vernon grimaced on camera before grinning.She then quipped: "You've got a gardener..." which prompted laughs from the studio.After a long silence, Vernon nodded and said: "Yeah.
